Old Ordnance Survey maps of the 1870s show that Borehamwood had a Crown Inn at that time probably serving as the station hotel, but it was set a little way further north down the hill to the left in Theobald Street. The current building from the 1920s/1930s occupies a more prominent site at the junction of Theobald Street and Shenley Road. At one time in the not too distant past it was known as The Enigma but under the new ownership of Juniper Inns it has now reverted to The Crown. According to their website branded Juniper Inns will be located in low profile but densely populated locations and principally target the 25+ age group.
